An important figure in the world of tennis shows concern for what the break between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero might unleash.
Carlos Alcaraz
The Spanish woman, recently appointed Director of the Mutua Madrid Open alongside Feliciano López, was questioned about the separation of the world number one... and she did not hold back her opinion.
Carlos Alcaraz's exhibition calendar remains fully packed... and the Murcian is already planning his route, even looking ahead to 2026. It's unusual to announce an event of this magnitude so early, but we can now mark a new Alcaraz vs Joao Fonseca on the calendar: it will take place in Sao Paulo on December 12, 2026, at the Allianz Parque football stadium. The exhibition will be sponsored by Itaú, the South American giant, and promises to deliver another electrifying duel following their recent match in Miami. Will Joao get his revenge?

Interesting reflection from the Belgian, who lived alongside Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic and now defeats names like Carlos Alcaraz. In what way has this sport evolved?
The ATP has published the complete list of prize money earned by the top players on the circuit. Alcaraz, the absolute leader and the only one to amass more than 20 million dollars.
It is very unusual for three players to dominate the top-3 of the ATP ranking throughout an entire season. In fact, it hadn't happened since 2008, when the Big 3 occupied the top spots in the ranking for all 52 weeks of that year. This is what has happened again in 2025, with Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev as the main protagonists. Perhaps it was somewhat overshadowed by the significant gap between the Italian, the Spaniard, and the German, with the latter barely maintaining his position as the world number 3, due to his poor performance.

Carlos Alcaraz has now been at the top of the ATP ranking for 51 weeks, but what is most decisive is that he has managed to finish two years at the top of the rankings. This is a privilege that only ten other players have had before him. The player from Murcia has matched Edberg, Hewitt, and Borg, with 2 seasons concluded in that privileged position, still with a long way to go if he wants to challenge Novak Djokovic's record of 8.
Seasons finished as ATP number 1
- Novak Djokovic: 8
- Pete Sampras: 6
- Roger Federer: 5
- Jimmy Connors: 5
- Rafael Nadal: 5
- Ivan Lendl: 4
- John McEnroe: 4
- Björn Borg: 2
- Lleyton Hewitt: 2
- Stefan Edberg: 2
- Carlos Alcaraz: 2

Carlos Alcaraz wants to continue his trend of tattooing something iconic for each Grand Slam title he wins. Months after becoming the champion of the US Open 2025, the Spaniard has fulfilled his goal of getting a new tattoo, this time of the Statue of Liberty. He didn't hesitate to share it on social media, causing a great media buzz.

The past few days have not been easy for Carlos Alcaraz and his team. After the announcement of the separation from the world number one Juan Carlos Ferrero, it has been Samuel López (up to now the second coach) who has taken charge to prepare for the new season. Despite all the external noise, the work must go on, and Samu himself has posted a photo on Instagram informing about how the first week of preseason has gone for the team.
"First week of preseason completed. After passing the medical check-up, we started with good sensations, a lot of work, and commitment. We continue to train with enthusiasm, ambition, and unity, focused on growing day by day and continuing to make history in this sport," was the message conveyed by the new head coach of the Murcian tennis player. A message of unity and hope for a 2026 with a lot at stake.

Since the tournament's creation in 2017, each champion has had a different path in their professional career, but most have ended up succeeding on the ATP circuit.
